Fotogalleri av en tigertank i aksjon, The Tiger I er det vanlige navnet på en tysk tung tank utviklet i 1942 og brukt i andre verdenskrig. Den siste offisielle tyske betegnelsen var Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, ofte forkortet til Tiger. Det var et svar på den uventet formidable sovjetiske rustningen som ble møtt i de første månedene av aksemaktenes invasjon av Sovjetunionen, spesielt T-34 og KV-1. Tiger I-designet ga Wehrmacht sin første tankmontering av 88 mm pistolen, i sin første pansrede kampkjøretøy-dedikerte versjon, som i sin Flak-versjon tidligere hadde vist sin effektivitet mot både luft- og bakkemål. I løpet av krigen så Tiger I kamp på alle tyske slagfronter. Det ble vanligvis utplassert i uavhengige tankbataljoner, som viste seg å være ganske formidabelt.

Den Panzerkampfwagen VI (Pz.Kpfw. VI), commonly known as the Tiger, was a series of German heavy tanks used during World War II. It was a formidable and revolutionary design, primarily known for its incredibly heavy armor and powerful main gun. The series includes two primary models: the Tiger I and the Tiger II.
1. Panzer VI Tiger I (Sd.Kfz. 181)
The original Tiger I was a response to the unexpectedly strong Soviet tanks encountered during the invasion of the USSR. It entered service in 1942 and quickly established a fearsome reputation.
- Rolle: Heavy Tank, designed for breakthrough and long-range engagement.
- Hovedbevæpning: The devastating 88 mm KwK 36 L/56 cannon, which could penetrate most Allied tank armor at extreme distances.
- Armor: Featured very heavy, though largely flat and vertical, armor. Frontal hull armor was typically 100 mm thick, with the gun mantlet up to 200 mm. Its protection relied on sheer thickness.
- Vekt: og som en tank utvinning kjøretøy 57 tonnes.
- Mobilitet: Powered by a 700 hp Maybach V-12 engine. Capable of speeds up to 38 to 45 km/h on roads. Its complex interleaved road wheel suspension provided good off-road performance but was mechanically demanding and maintenance-intensive.
- Mannskap: 5 (Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver, Radio Operator).
2. Panzer VI Tiger II (Königstiger / King Tiger) (Sd.Kfz. 182)
The Tiger II, or “King Tiger,” was the successor to the Tiger I and represented an evolution in German tank design. It entered production in late 1943.
- Rolle: Heavy Tank.
- Hovedbevæpning: The superior 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 cannon. This longer-barreled gun significantly increased muzzle velocity and anti-tank performance.
- Armor: Combined the sheer thickness of the Tiger series with sloped armor. The frontal hull plate was 150 mm thick and angled at 50, making it virtually impervious to most Allied tank guns from the front.
- Vekt: Nesten 68.5 tonnes, making it the heaviest tank used by Germany during the war.
- Drawbacks: Its extreme weight severely strained its powertrain, leading to significant mechanical reliability issues and placing a massive burden on German logistics and manufacturing.
